83: Sleeping Together

Sleeping Together

Huo Yunshen was a light sleeper. His eyes flew open when he felt a sudden sinking sensation on the bed beside him. He turned to look, and in the faint moonlight coming through the window, he saw someone lying there.2

Is that Xu Xiyan?

Why…why is she here?

Whatever the reason was, Huo Yunshen's heart was beating so fast that it felt like it would spring out of his chest. He forced himself to calm down.

He decided to turn around and face her. It took him great effort to move his legs and finally turn his body over, the slender back of the petite woman half filling the space between his arms.

Huo Yunshen cherished this rare opportunity to be close with her and gently covered her with his blanket. He was careful not to make sudden movements, and even controlled his breathing, afraid to wake her.

The next day, Xu Xiyan woke naturally. She opened her eyes and, to her surprise, she saw a handsome face in front of her.

What the…

She quickly covered her mouth before she could let out a scream. A chill ran down her spine, and she couldn't believe what she was seeing. Huo Yunshen was not the kind of man who would take advantage of someone.

But why was he in her room?

Just as she was about to quietly shift her body and get off the bed, he awoke, soft morning light twinkling in his eyes as he blinked.

He looked like the beautiful Narcissus waking by the stream. The scene was so enchanting that she couldn't bear to disturb it.

Huo Yunshen gazed into her eyes for a few seconds, then said softly, "Oh, you're awake..."

"Yeah."

Xu Xiyan suddenly sprang up from the bed, grabbing at her hair. "Mr. Huo, why are you in my room?"

"It seems that this is my room," said Huo Yunshen nonchalantly. He turned over and lay on his back, finally able to stretch out the arm that had turned numb under his weight overnight.

Uhhh...This is his room?!!!

Xu Xiyan looked around frantically. No, no, no, this cannot be! How did I end up in his room?

In any case, Xu Xiyan was the one at fault. An apology was in order.

"I'm sorry Mr. Huo, I think I was too drowsy and must have stumbled into the wrong room. I really didn't mean to disturb you, I…"

What do I even say?

There's an old saying that goes "what you think about in the day, you will dream of all night."

She had often daydreamed about Huo Yunshen. But at night, instead of dreaming, she had sleep-walked right into his room.

Xu Xiyan, oh Xu Xiyan. How are you going to face him?

Huo Yunshen smiled wryly. "It's okay, this is not the first time, anyways. We're even now."

Xu Xiyan didn't know what to say.

Speaking of the first time.

The first time, five years ago, he had gone into the wrong room. Now she was the one in the wrong room.

Okay. We're even now.

Xu Xiyan felt like she might die from embarressment. Every morning she would wake up with her hair messier than a chicken's nest, drool hanging at the corners of her mouth and gunk crusting up in her eyes.

F*ck my life.

She really wished that she hadn't shown herself in that embarrassing state in front of prince charming. Aaaaaah…

Huo Yunshen noticed that she was almost crying and quickly comforted her. "Don't worry, you were safe sleeping with me. I didn't touch you."
